Fighting the Enemy of Self
When the thought arises that you want to pay someone back and express how you feel in a negative way, or do something else to make a person, who has offended you uncomfortable, think twice!
Strange things have a way of happening, sooner or later, that affect those who have wronged you, but also to those who plot revenge. Yet, sometimes it isn't the individual who is the foe, but us! That one who stares back at you in the mirror. There is simply no one that needs to be held accountable, but us!
Think of those times you really wanted to blame someone else. Remember those moments when others found out the truth about you. Consider the promises you made to self you would change. Taking a moment, saying a prayer like the one below, will empower you. You will get back on track when you are willing to overcome your selfish ways and negative thoughts about self and others.
"Lord, I need your help today. I am dealing with some weaknesses within that have been interrupting me at work, home, and elsewhere. I really want to do some things differently today, but inside of me I am hindering myself from doing what is right. Give me the strength this day to overcome! (You might want to say this a few times). Bless me with the wisdom, patience and inner peace to come up higher. I don't want to do or say anything more that is going to keep me out of your will. Show me what I am supposed to do and put in me the spirit to live righteously today. In Jesus name."
When you have a moment, allow God to guide you to a passage of scripture in his Bible. You will find something in his word that will give you some insight about your personal issues.
It's as simple as that! A prayer and bible reading as often as you can. Walk in love, Saint and look out for God's miracles, signs and wonders!

More Drama, Disputes, and Darkness with Couples - Pray Even on Valentine's Day
If you are a believer and you haven't taken the time to pray for your relationship, do it now! Lately, Satan has been busy with more schemes to break up happy homes. There is a season for all things and whenever couples are being celebrated, Satan puts his army of devil worshipers to work!
You see, embracing love moves people to make changes, behave differently, come up higher, and do other things that free them from Satan's binding schemes. Those who have been oppressed in loveless relationships take blinders off and work to find personal solace and freedom. Others who have had their share of struggles, yet still remain together, don't want to break up. So if there is a window of opportunity to take a small disagreement and turn it into a major one, Satan will do just that!
What is in darkness does come to light, but always consider the timing. If you feel that your relationship is under attack, you will need to stay in prayer. Don't assume everyone has your best interest in mind including a wayward spouse.
Now if you are one who has a quality relationship with your partner and much upset has been taking place lately, you should be asking, "Why would someone or something happen during a time when things are typically positive and what should I or shouldn't be doing at this time? Also, think about one's motivation for causing upset. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy because we permit other people's issues to affect us.
If you should find yourself in drama, disputing over stupid things, and feel as if you are walking in darkness, do take the time to reflect on what is happening, meditate on the words in the Holy Bible (start by reading the Book of Psalms) pray, and fast (depending on the circumstance such as: death, financial loss, and certain health ailments like stomach upset).

Don't Lose Courage - You Don't Have to Look Them in the Eyes
You can make a powerful statement and still stand strong even when you aren't looking at your foe in his or her face. If anything, it frustrates the enemy when you don't care enough about what the individual is saying to be attentive to it. Why bother making eye contact when a manipulative, angry, or crazy person has insulted you?
Give the disturbed one no weapon to form against you including eyes of fire! Don't permit the evil within another human being that is so far from a righteous God, to destroy you--to tempt you to do something you might regret! If one sincerely believes in a heavenly Creator then he or she would be wise to call on The One who is beyond human intelligence, power, and fame --the Master of all masters, the Warrior of all warriors--the great I AM!
Deceased wise teachers, leaders, prophets, and others didn't go into a fight without a spiritual weapon. The enemy knows that a man or woman who is connected to God, the Son and the Holy Ghost has the potential to be greater than he who is in the world--that is if he or she knows the truth: the weapons of our warfare are not carnal! Satan and his minions work night and day to keep you from fully realizing this. They dilute truth, hide it, keep it off the front pages of websites, out of printed media on best-seller lists, and away from the mouths of influential people in our modern day society.
The niche market works well for the trained puppet, he or she will not deviate from scripts and will stay focused on one thing at a time while oblivious to the world around him or her unless it is somehow connected to his niche. Satan loves keeping believers in boxes! "Come out the box," the Lord says.
The backslider, unsaved, lost and confused most likely is aware how a "typical" Christian will react to his or her negative news, nasty behavior, rude comments, etc. since these ungodly types sometimes attend church too. However, the radical type, the Jesus follower, one who flies under the radar, evil people never know which way children of light are coming, what battle might believers lead, or where will God's people end up. Some are so disturbed with worry that a Christian might show up and show out with his or her truth that they jump the gun, create false stories, damage reputations, etc. in an attempt to take Christians off this planet for no real reasons.
While you are avoiding eye contact during a verbal battle with the evil one's workers, don't be tempted to spill everything you know, hold back some truth from them, remain quiet sometimes like Jesus did especially when his death was near, and trust that God will be with you every step of the way. Remember the battle is not yours!
God bless.

The Legacy of the Lost
We live in an American society of sin, mayhem, and destruction. Countless people die unexpectedly daily as a result of sins committed with no concept of what a healthy spiritual relationship with one's Creator looked and felt like. The lost falsely assumed they were okay within while spreading their poison to others. Lies, deceit, anger, bitterness, hatred, resentment, and jealousy, are just some of the many issues ungodly people have that they refuse to let go of.
These dead people didn't feel they needed to believe in anyone or anything, but themselves while living amongst the children of light. Sold out on personal beliefs of being one's own God, they failed miserably at being joyful and peaceful while they walked this earth. There was never enough money, love, attention, material goods, and more to suffice the depressed, sad, wild, crazy kind of people--both young and old.
Much of their legacy left behind (from those who could afford to leave something for generations following them) had no God approval stamp, so to speak. In other words, they held on to worthless treasures, cursed media, and demonic tokens, the kind of things that meant nothing to a righteous God who reigns over all the people. What good is a religious relic, a shiny brand name piece of jewelry, a designer car, or a large home decorated with biblically inspired messages when the owners weren't living according to God's will?
Despite all of the beautiful things that men and women buy, invests in or creates, God is not interested in people's objects and systems and neither are those who honestly wanted nothing more than a parent, child, or relative to simply love them!
The legacy of the lost is not filled with love, hope, or truth despite engraved or painted words on objects. Instead, Satan uses the spoils from life and death's war to divide, conquer, and create havoc for those left behind. Siblings argue about who should keep what. Employees fight over position. The church steps in to claim what is their's and so on. So much confusion over what the dead wanted!
Lost people are never completely honest with themselves or others about their innermost thoughts, how they come to inherit wealth, who they know, or what exactly moved them to make their creative works. They might have talked about how good, nice and wonderful they are and others while alive, but deep down inside felt nothing more than a void. Like a deceased person, a walking dead body is unable to give and receive love.
Lost people, no matter the personality disorder, are incapable of loving. They are incomplete spiritually, mentally and physically. They decorate themselves beautifully to create an illusion that they are indeed "fearfully and wonderfully made" as the Bible suggests, rather than taking God at his word. "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14 Notice there is a belief in a Holy God and an appreciation for what the Creator has done. Yet, while alive the lost couldn't appreciate this concept and in death it is too late.
So rather than God be glorified even after the death of a loved one, a lost generation glorifies stuff.
The Messiah reminds us, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Matthew 6:20.
